TREK: Don't stop. Don't give up. God's with you!
Following Jesus and carrying out the good work He left for us to do is an epic quest—a journey that none of us can complete on our own. That’s why this month’s theme is “Trek: Don’t stop, don’t give up—God’s with you”—so kids can remember that God will help them on this grand adventure, every step of the way.
MEMORY VERSE: Let us not become tired of doing good. At the right time we will gather a crop if we don’t give up.
Galatians 6:9 NIrV
